LA Rams news: Aaron Rodgers, joint practice and more stories for Cardinals fans to know

We have made it through another week of the offseason, now 12 weeks from Week 1. It is time to check in with the rest of the NFC West and see what is happening with the Arizona Cardinals‘ division rivals — the Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks.

What has been going on with the Rams?

Below are some stories from the last week about them that Cardinals fans should know.

Rams considered getting Aaron Rodgers

The Rams got Matthew Stafford to agree to a new contract, but because there was the possibility that he left, the Rams considered other options. Had he gone elsewhere, they were prepared to pursue Rodgers, who signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Joint practice scheduled

The Cardinals have a joint practice with the Denver Broncos in the second week of the preseason. The Rams will hold a joint practice with the Dallas Cowboys in Oxnard, CA leading up to their preseason opener at home.

Starting LT has health issues

The Rams signed former Cardinals first-round pick D.J. Humphries this week and it was for a good reason. Starting left tackle Alaric Jackson is dealing with blood clots for the second time in his career. His status for this season is a little in the air now.

OTAs takeaways

The Rams concluded voluntary OTAs last week. Among the takeaways from their voluntary work, CB Emmanuel Forbes is bigger, DL LBraden Fiske’s knee is fine and RB Kyren Williams is working on a new contract with the team.

Rams save millions in cap-saving move

The Rams cut ties with cornerback Derion Kendrick. He missed all last season with a torn ACL. The move saves the Rams more than $3 million in cap space.
